Though most of the county is working hard to get back to the regular routine of life, there are several hot spots to the fires still being battled. One is the Harris Fire near Lyon’t Peak. The image below was constructed using Google Earth and data from Pacific Southwest Research Station. This data is from […]
Again from the same IR source that was used for the Poomacha images. These IR images also display some of the banding artifacts that were seen on the Poomacha images, it is an artifact of the IR sensor. IR at 21:19 Wednesday Oct 24 – Lyon’s Peak Looking North You can clearly see the hot […]
The IR Source that I have been fond of did another sensor pass on the Poomacha fire last night. I now can show the extent of the burn on Palomar Mountain and near Rincon. For those of you wanting to look at the data yourself, you can find it at the Pacific Southwest Research Station […]
Last but certainly not lest, these are maps of the Harris fire from October 23rd at about 20:00 using the same IR platform as the other images. This is all geo-registered and layed onto Google Earth. None of these maps show the movement of the fires on the 24th (Wednesday), and I will update with […]
Same IR data source as before. All of the data is nicely geo-registered, and works well in Google Earth. The one caveat is that this data is all from October 23rd, so its from yesterday. Now some views of the Witch Creek Fire. You will note these are from all over the east part of […]
From the same data source, now a set of maps for the Rice Canyon Fire. A reminder this is thermal / infra-red imaging, so we are seeing “heat” here. IR at 20:00 Tuesday Oct 23 Looking East / North East IR at 20:00 Tuesday Oct 23 Looking West / South West Again this data set […]
I have discovered a source of Infra-Red data to be used in mapping. The data is high quality and geo-registered which is very good news for accuracy. The bad news is it is a day old. However I wanted to show you what Poomacha looked like at 20:00 Tuesday Oct 23 Looking East / North […]
I would like to recognize another blogger who is working hard to cut through the lack of information and fog surrounding our multiple fires in San Diego County. The Blog is http://www.barboni.org/ and an example of the kind of work being done is shown below. Good stuff!
The Harris Fire is now 73,000 acres, suppression costs are at $2.5 million. There are 759 firefighters assigned. The fire was held at the edge of Chula Vista and Spring Valley. The returning onshore flow has moved the fire to the northeast threatening structures along Highway 94 from Jamul to the east and Jamacha to […]
Information on the Poomacha fire is hard to come by. We have been trying since last night to find out where the burn is, and how the front of the fire is moving. There are many reports of evacuations, and given that the authorities are being very proactive about clearing people out of where the […]
